Window treatments: Check

Ok only the window treatments in the two bedrooms are done, but I'm very proud.  What I'm not proud of is picture quality.  I really need some practice/lessons, probably more patience too to wait until the right time of day to be  taking pictures in whatever rooms. 

I bought 3 of this rod for the bedrooms and I hung these old blue curtains I had from an old apartment in the spare bedroom/closet room.  This is the only pic you get as the room is stacked with stuff from the living room.  We're getting ready to paint this weekend!

I made dropcloth curtains for our bedroom and really love how they turned out

Unfinished edges, exposed seams, uneven ruffle were all intentional.  We like the roughed up, wrinkled material look to them.

Thrift store success

Can I just say I love thrift stores!!!  I know it's become oh so trendy, but it's something I support, I think all benefit from re-using items, being frugal, etc.   Well today's trip was very successful.  I spent $12 and got 5 jars, 3 knives, a glass mixing bowl, a food chopper, and an immersion blender.  I'm very proud in case you can't tell.

2nd Bedroom is painted!

The bathroom is still in progress.  It's close, just needs some caulking and touching up around the shower.  Unfortunately the old rusty stack of drawers I found on craigslist to use as storage is an inch too wide for the space next to the washer/dryer.  I'm way bummed and need to figure out how to get some storage space in the bathroom still.  But I did just go ahead and get the 2nd bedroom painted. We went with the color "smooth stone" by glidden and we really love it.  It's a pale grey although you can't always tell in my crappy pics.

Here's the 2nd bedroom before

Another before shot, we got rid of the broken armoire

 I'm so excited about this room.  Although I'm sad it's not going to be a very "pretty" room.  We'll be using it for our closet and storage space.
